  abstract = {{A}t a time when protecting the environment is urgent, dealing with inherent uncertainties in the responses of biodiversity to disturbances is essential. {T}his study promotes a promising tool to assess the vulnerability of species assemblages to guide protection efforts even if species response and disturbance regimes are poorly documented. {S}etting appropriate conservation strategies in a multi-threat world is a challenging goal, especially because of natural complexity and budget limitations that prevent effective management of all ecosystems. {S}afeguarding the most threatened ecosystems requires accurate and integrative quantification of their vulnerability and their functioning, particularly the potential loss of species trait diversity which imperils their functioning. {H}owever, the magnitude of threats and associated biological responses both have high uncertainties. {A}dditionally, a major difficulty is the recurrent lack of reference conditions for a fair and operational measurement of vulnerability. {H}ere, we present a functional vulnerability framework that incorporates uncertainty and reference conditions into a generalizable tool. {T}hrough in silico simulations of disturbances, our framework allows us to quantify the vulnerability of communities to a wide range of threats. {W}e demonstrate the relevance and operationality of our framework, and its global, scalable and quantitative comparability, through three case studies on marine fishes and mammals. {W}e show that functional vulnerability has marked geographic and temporal patterns. {W}e underline contrasting contributions of species richness and functional redundancy to the level of vulnerability among case studies, indicating that our integrative assessment can also identify the drivers of vulnerability in a world where uncertainty is omnipresent.},
